A lot changes in 10 years. Here atWWNO, we’ve witnessed many transformations since the summer of 2005: we’ve expanded our format, started a local news department, and even won some awards.
None of that would have been possible without the memorable efforts ofWWNO’sstaff who kept the radio station running after Hurricane Katrina and the floods that followed.
Whether it was setting up a temporary broadcast post in Atlanta, finding a way back into the city to check on the transmitter, or making sure local folks got the information they needed to begin rebuilding their lives, our staff performed above and beyond. We’ve compiled some recollections from that time to share with you. Click here to hear WWNO's Katrina Story.
Special thanks toWWNOanchors Diane Mack, JackHopke, and FarrarHudkins; producer FredKasten; production manager JenniLawson; chief engineer Robert Carroll; and operations manager Ron Curtis for sharing their stories.
